Histories of World War II usually focus only on the details of troop movements and engagements, or on the evils of the Nazis and fascism, as if they arose in isolation and are an aberration of history confined to the early 20th Century. A broader look at the war is important to any discussion of whether it was a "good" war, but it's also necessary to our understanding of how we decide which wars are "good" or "bad" today.
Howard Zinn, in his essay "Just and Unjust War" (originally published in Declarations of Independence and recently reprinted in The Zinn Reader) reviews some of the ignored or forgotten aspects of WWII and asks whether it really was a "just" war. His further goal is to understand whether our complacency in accepting that some wars can be "good" wars is behind our acceptance of U.S. policy makers' decisions to bomb other countries today.
First, Zinn reviews evidence that the U.S. entered the war for imperialist reasons and to expand U.S. economic interests abroad, rather than to fight fascism. For example, while the U.S. government prohibited weapons sales to Italy after it invaded Ethiopia, the government still allowed U.S. companies to sell oil to Italy. During the Spanish Civil War, Roosevelt's Neutrality Act, which prevented nations from providing aid to the Republican government of Spain, allowed the fascist side to prevail with direct support from Hitler and Mussolini. Nor did German invasions of Austria, Czechoslovakia, and Poland produce any response from the U.S. government. One U.S. State Department official, James E. Miller, noted that "American aid certainly reinforced the hold of Fascism."
Nor did the plight of European Jews draw notice from the U.S. government. In fact, in 1934, the State Department was instrumental in killing an early Senatorial resolution expressing "surprise and pain" at the German treatment of its Jewish population and asking for restoration of Jewish rights. During the height of Hitler's extermination program in 1942 and 1943, the U.S. and British governments missed several opportunities to save the lives of Jews in occupied territories, not the least of which was the opportunity to bomb railroad lines leading to the death camps, especially the notorious Auschwitz.
Zinn quotes a Princeton historian, Arno Mayer, in his book "Why Did the Heavens Not Darken" regarding one of the most controversial aspects of the Holocaust. Mayer maintains that the war itself may have brought on the Final Solution. Not that Mayer's motive is to remove blame from the Nazis, but he suggests that "frenzy of war acting on distorted minds" brought about the psychotic extermination of millions of people. He notes that Hitler's early plans were for emigration, not extermination, and Raul Hilberg in his book on the Holocaust supports this: "From 1938 to 1940, Hitler made extraordinary and unusual attempts to bring about a vast emigration scheme … The Jews were not killed before the emigration policy was literally exhausted." It didn't help, of course, that western nations, including the U.S., refused to take large numbers of Jewish refugees.
At home, the war was greeted with enthusiasm by the bulk of Americans, yet a large number of dissidents emerged, in spite of a gung-ho government and press that bombarded Americans with pro-war propaganda. Many noted that the war was being fought to protect U.S. tin, oil, and rubber interests in Southeast Asia. Corporations and wealthy men made enormous fortunes during the war, while workers' wages were frozen and pressure was put on labor unions not hold strikes. Nevertheless, 14,000 strikes involving 6 million workers occurred during the war, more than at any other time in U.S. history.
While Jews were being exterminated in Germany, minorities in the U.S. suffered harsh treatment, too. Black soldiers fought in the U.S. military, but were segregated into separate fighting units, and often given the worst and most dangerous assignments. Here are the words of one student, repeated by NAACP leader, Walter White: "The Army jim-crows us. The Navy lets us serve only as messmen. The Red Cross refuses our blood. Employers and labor unions shut us out. Lynchings continue. We are disenfranchised, jim-crowed, spat upon. What more could Hitler do than that?"
An estimated 110,000 Japanese-American men, women, and children (three-fourths of them born in the U.S.) were imprisoned in internment camps in 1942, when Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066. All of them lost businesses, homes, property, and many lost elderly or ill family members while living in the camps under makeshift, prison-like conditions. Such treatment was not confined only to the U.S., however. In England, people with Germanic names (including many Jewish refugees) and people of Italian ancestry were also imprisoned.
WWII saw the birth of literally the worst aspect of modern warfare: the deliberate targeting and saturation bombing of civilian populations. Early in the war, Italy bombed civilians in Ethiopia, Japan targeted Chinese civilians, and Germany and Italy helped bomb civilian centers during the Spanish Civil War. But were the Allies any better? In fact, U.S. and British planes routinely targeted civilians in France, Germany, and Southeast Asia. The U.S. military's official stance was that these towns were military centers and strategically important to crippling Germany's war effort. These targets, however, included working class residential areas of industrial cities–killing the workers would prove as effective as bombing military installations, in the minds of Western policy makers.
Thousands of planes flew over Germany, France, Hungary, and other regions. British planes did night-time "area bombing," while U.S. planes flew during the daytime, in a pretense of precision bombing. Zinn himself joined the Air Force in 1943 and trained as a gunner, then flew numerous bombing raids over Europe. He points out that during training, bombers flew over practice targets at an altitude of 4,000 feet and could drop a bomb within 20 feet of their intended target, but at 11,000 feet, their bombs were more likely to be 200 feet off target. During actual combat missions, bombers routinely flew at 30,000 feet and often missed their mark by a quarter of a mile. The sheer number of Allied planes and bombs deployed after the U.S. entered the war vastly outnumbered anything the Axis had deployed. The effects of this saturation bombing could be enormously and indiscriminately destructive, as accounts of the fire-bombing of Dresden attest.
But the damage wasn't limited to Europe, as Zinn notes: "The policy of saturation bombing became even more brutal when B29s, which carried twice the bombload as the planes we flew in Europe, attacked Japanese cities with incendiaries, turning them into infernos." In only one nighttime attack on Tokyo, 100,000 civilians were killed and over a million left homeless by massive fires. A line had been crossed; once civilian targets became acceptable, anything was possible–including the use of atomic weapons on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Zinn eloquently sums up his essay with the following words: "The good cause in World War II was the defeat of fascism. And, in fact, it ended with that defeat: the corpse of Mussolini hanging in the public square in Milan; Hitler burned to death in his underground bunker; Tojo, captured and sentenced to death by an international tribunal. But forty million people were dead, and the elements of fascism–militarism, racism, imperialism, dictatorship, ferocious nationalism, and war–were still at large in the postwar world.
… The practical effect of declaring World War II just is not for that war, but for the wars that follow. And that effect has been a dangerous one, because the glow of rightness that accompanied that war has been transferred, by false analogy and emotional carryover, to other wars. To put it another way, perhaps the worst consequence of World War II is that it kept alive the idea that war could be just.
Looking at World War II in perspective, looking at the world it created and the terror that grips our century, should we not bury for all time the idea of just war?"
The above quotes are from "Just and Unjust War," by Howard Zinn, reprinted in The Zinn Reader, Seven Stories Press, 632 Broadway, 7th Floor, New York, NY 10012, 1997.

Not long after I first began hanging around Little 5 Points, a peculiar bar called the Euclid Avenue Yacht Club took over a former bank or insurance company office. As a youth, I had no interest in a place that called itself a Yacht Club. The patrons seemed to be a mix of old people in button up shirts and hippies. I was a die hard patron of The Point and The Little 5 Points Community Pub and I didn't need another bar.
Too many years later, I was talking with Scott Rogers of The Penetrators and he said the Yacht Club was his favorite bar. By then, the Pub and the Point were long gone and I was a Star Bar regular. On some random night, I arrived in the neighborhood too early for the Star Bar, or maybe I was on my way to a show at Variety Playhouse, but for whatever reason, I wandered into the Yacht Club to see why Scott loved the place. Sure, there were still plenty of older people in less than rebellious fashions, but by that point I was closer to their age and less interested in people insistent on being perceived as counter-cultural. But while I cannot deny that my age had something to do with it, it was the Yacht Club's simple charms that won me over: decent beer and booze selections, decent prices, above average bar food, comfortable surroundings and a super friendly staff.
Last week they celebrated 25 years of holding steady, which is a miracle in Atlanta. My list of favorite Atlanta bars no longer in existence is longer than my list of favorite bars still open. (The same goes for music venues and restaurants. Atlanta patrons are fickle.)
I missed most of the festivities, but managed to catch Young Antiques. Rock with pop hooks, featuring former Yacht staffers.
I'd heard about headliners Jayne County for years but somehow never got around to seeing them. Southern transgender punk/glam/rockabilly done with spit and spirit.
Her songs ask the audience to stop hate and bigotry, and "Are you man enough to be a woman?", mixed in with warped covers of Iggy Pop and shout-outs to the Ramones and MC5. Fantastic.
I'd love to see a Jayne County/Uknown Hinson double bill.
For more about Jane County, check out her web site: >http://www.jaynecounty.com/. Be sure to check out her blog at Rock and Roll Anti RepubliKKKan League as well.
Thanks to the staff and patrons for keeping the Yacht Club alive and thriving. I'll be back for a brisket sandwich and Barbancourt/soda in a day or two!

Thirty-one nonprofit organizations in the Washington area, including 14 synagogues and eight hospitals, have received federal grants ranging from $26,000 to $100,000 to fortify their facilities under an anti-terrorism program that has divided Jewish leaders and drawn criticism from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
The grants are part of a $25 million nationwide program that Congress approved last year and recently renewed for fiscal 2006 to protect nonprofit groups deemed highly vulnerable to a terrorist attack.
The Jewish community has long been security conscious because of terrorist attacks abroad on synagogues and Jewish centers, and that explains why a large number of Jewish organizations applied for the grants and received them, said Ronald Halber, executive director of the Jewish Community Relations Council of Greater Washington.
United Jewish Communities, which represents more than 550 Jewish organizations in North America, took credit in a news release last week for lobbying Congress to set up and renew the program.
But the executive board of the Union for Reform Judaism advised Reform temples not to apply for the funds. In a memo to member congregations, Reform leaders called the security grants "a serious violation of church-state separation" and said the $25 million "could have been better used beefing up first responders and police protection in high-risk areas."
A spokesman for the Department of Homeland Security said that the program is unnecessary and that the department tried unsuccessfully to have the money taken out of its 2006 budget. State and city officials already had the authority to award their federal homeland security money to nonprofit groups, including religious ones, and creation of the fund forced officials to set up a new disbursement system, said department spokesman Marc Short.
"There's nothing that would restrict a city from allocating funds to a church or synagogue that faces a grave danger or risk," Short said. "We have always said we have felt this was redundant and unnecessary."
Sen. Barbara A. Mikulski (D-Md.), who with Sen. Arlen Specter (R-Pa.) sponsored the legislation creating the program, said the federal funds protect "hospitals, schools, community centers, synagogues and churches from terrorist violence."
"I will keep fighting to protect institutions that are vital to our communities and the physical, social, spiritual and educational well-being of all Americans," Mikulski said in a statement issued yesterday.
The $25 million for 2005 was disbursed to 18 metropolitan areas considered most at risk of terrorist attack. Because state and local officials made the awards, the federal agency does not yet have a list of recipients nationwide.
The Washington area was given $4.5 million and has distributed $2.7 million, with the money being administered by the D.C. deputy mayor for public safety. All 31 applicants succeeded in obtaining grants.
In addition to the 14 synagogues, the recipients included two Jewish schools and five other Jewish organizations, among them the Jewish Community Center of Greater Washington and Hillel, a student group. Among the eight hospitals getting money were Georgetown University Hospital, Inova Loudoun Hospital, Montgomery General Hospital and Prince William Hospital. The American National Red Cross and the Capital Area Food Bank also received funds.
The Baltimore region received about $130,000, but Maryland officials also made some of their other federal homeland security money available. About $1.26 million has been given to 47 organizations, of which 43 are Jewish, including 26 congregations. The only non-Jewish congregation to receive money was the Islamic Society of Baltimore.
In Boston, seven of the 25 grant recipients were Jewish organizations. The others included 12 hospitals, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the local YMCA.
Officials in Chicago, who gave out $2.7 million to 33 nonprofit groups, and New York, who awarded $6.3 million to 112 groups, declined to identify their grant recipients, saying that doing so could jeopardize the organizations' security.
Under regulations issued by the Homeland Security Department, the money must be used for "target hardening," such as installing concrete barriers, surveillance cameras and blastproof doors.
The guidelines on eligibility for the grants say consideration should be given to organizations that have been the target of threats or previous attacks by terrorist groups inside or outside the United States; are at historically or culturally important sites; would have a role in responding to terrorist attacks; and have an "overall religious or service operations philosophy that could cause it to be a potential target."
Alicia Love, campaign and major gift director of the Capital Area Food Bank, said her organization qualified because it would be called on to supply food if a disaster occurred. She said it will use its $100,000 grant for camera surveillance to protect its food reserves from tampering.
Halber, of the Jewish Community Relations Council, said it was not hard for Jewish nonprofit groups to demonstrate that they fit the grant criteria. "Unfortunately, you only have to read the newspaper," he said, adding that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict sometimes spreads beyond the Middle East and that Jewish facilities in Europe "are being preyed upon" by anti-Semitic forces.
Zvi Schoenburg, head of Gesher Jewish Day School of Northern Virginia, which received $100,000, said: "When the criteria were set up for these grants, it certainly looked like something we would be eligible for. And as taxpayers, we wanted to believe that our safety and security is paramount in the eyes of the greater community. . . . If, God forbid, terrorists struck at a Jewish school, I think that would be of concern to all citizens in the metropolitan area."
But Rabbi David Saperstein, director of the Reform branch of Judaism's Religious Action Center, said he feared that Jewish congregations' acceptance of government funding "in the long run would be bad for religious freedom."
It also weakens arguments long made by Jewish leaders against government funding for religion-based charities and church-run schools, he said.
Mark Waldman, director of public policy for the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism, disagreed.
He said his branch of Judaism believes that it is appropriate to accept the grants because "the maintaining of security is a government responsibility, and the grants are available to all [nonprofits]. Therefore, it is not a church-state problem because they're not saying it's just for churches or synagogues. It could be for museums."

JNU adds spice: Kanhaiya's hostelmate to battle in Kerela's Pattambi
The vice-president of the CPI student wing AISF in JNU, Mohsin readily agreed to contest — unlike Kanhaiya Kumar, who is reluctant to join mainstream politics.assembly elections Updated: Apr 18, 2016 11:39 IST
JNU student leader Kanhaiya Kumar, who was charged with sedition for allegedly raising anti-national slogans, finds resonance in faraway Palakkad district of poll-bound Kerala — thanks to a fellow Left-leaning hostel-mate.
After campus politics, Mohammed Mohsin, 30, has taken a full-throttle electoral plunge as a CPI candidate from Pattambi that was a Left bastion once, electing stalwarts EMS Namboodiripad, who headed the first democratically elected communist government.
The vice-president of the CPI student wing AISF in JNU, Mohsin readily agreed to contest — unlike Kumar, who is reluctant to join mainstream politics.
But then, JNU and Kumar pop up everywhere in sleepy Pattambi where five of Mohsin's university friends have descended on the scene as his "war room boys". Kumar is likely to campaign for him in the May 16 polls.
CPI workers have dubbed him the "next Che" — after the Left's favourite poster boy, revolutionary leader Che Guevara. Mohsin, is a PhD student and the grandson of Sufi scholar, Maanu Musaliar. Ironically, his father is a Congress sympathiser.

Many thanks to my opponent for this debate.
I'll begin by responding to Pro's entire argument which I will highlight in bold. Then I will present my arguments.
We are one species, but yet we fight with each other over resources, ideologies and etc. Let's instead united and create a new socio-economic system where every human being's daily needs like dwelling, food, clothes, technology is provided.
Just because we are one species is not a good argument in favor of a single world government.
Pro does not explain why we should take care of everyone, let alone if it's even possible. I contest that it's not.
Our technology let's us do it now, but instead we selfishly use the earth's resources. If all countries unite, and understand that resource is no ones actually, the land, the borders are meaningless. We as a species are only 100,000-200,000 years on earth, and think we own it. The moment we declare that no nation owns no land, that there is no border anymore, there will be no wars over land, no conflicts that we see.
Pro has not proven that his suggestion is possible. Moreover, the vast majority of people and governments in the world accept borders and property rights. This means resources (natural and man made) can both be legitimate owned, despite Pro's fallacious bare assertion claiming otherwise. Moreover, Pro cannot legitimately claim there would be no war even if there were no nations or borders. We have absolutely no reason to believe that. People have fought each other even before official nations and established borders.
But in order to reach to that position first, every human being and nations should understand what it mean to unite. Moreover, there should be mass development in underdeveloped regions in order to provide dwellings and other life necessities to every person, before we unite.
I will argue that we should not attempt to unite, and that it's an incredibly problematic proposal. Pro has not told us how these underdeveloped nations can be developed and why.
During the process of development, new generations would understand what it means and education is of course the best tool. Uniting the world is the best choice humanity has, it will bring prosperity, happiness and healthy planet overall.
This has nothing to do with supporting a world government.
The globe is populated with more than 6 billion people. These people come from vastly different cultures and have completely different values. Even people who come from similar backgrounds often have completely different values (see: some Democrats and Republicans in the U.S.). If the purpose of government is to establish laws that protect important social values, how can we expect so many people to agree about what rules we should use to govern? Such a possibility seems absurd and would inevitably create conflict. For example, in Africa they practice female circumcision; in the Middle East they stone adulterers. Are those customs that people in the West would appreciate or even tolerate? Of course not.
In trying to dictate how another population lives, animosity inevitably ensues. History shows us how populations react to this kind of conflict: with the formation of a small militia type group that fights to protect their values within a community. This has happened since the beginning of mankind. With a multitude of groups doing that, you ultimately have the formation and creation of various law enfrocement groups and thus governments. As such, a single world government is completely unlikely of ever being possible or successful.
In choosing what values to put into law, due to differences in opinion, a significant amount of people are going to be upset if they are forced to abide by a specific value they disagree with which would inevitably be the case. For instance, consider how in the U.S., Republicans threatened to leave the country or revolt of Obama were re-elected. Of course Americans are too lazy/distracted/apathetic to ever actually fight back... and are ridiculed when doing so, eg. Occupy Wall Street... but that is not the case in other parts of the world where people have nothing better to do than care about their political agenda and fight to change it. Expecting everyone to accept unwanted laws is unrealistic. Clearly there would be a significant backlash against the authorities, which would be completely disruptive and expensive both in terms of resources and human capital. Productivity will be stifled and people would lose their lives fighting for freedom from the oppression of global tyranny. It is not moral to suggest that people from one culture should be forcefully influential in dictating laws that govern people from a completely different culture.
I'm curious as to what type of government my opponent intends would be successful (or moral) anyhow. There are dangers of a single authoritative state. Essentially every citizen of the world would be a slave unable to escape an aggressive and tyrannical government. That is inherently oppressive in the truest sense of the word oppression. The ruling class (politicians) and those that protect it (the military) would hold indisputable power over everyone else. That is incredibly problematic. The extent of unpopularity would create perpetual dissonance under such a system.
In conclusion, the fact that people shouldn't be forced to abide by values they don't agree with on such a massive scale; the fact that expecting that to happen (despite such vast difference in values) would inevitably result in violent conflict -- as demonstrated throughout history; the fact that such conflict would infringe on people's right to live freely, as well as create war and inhibit prosperity; and the inevitable futility of trying to implement and sustain such a system -- in addition to all consideration on a cost-benefit analysis - proves why a world government is fundamentally not a good idea.
The resolution has been negated.
1. Today we have the technology to feed all the world population of 7 + billion plus. According to The Hunger Project (www.thp.org) 795 million people today do not have enough to eat every day, in the world where trillions of dollars are spend on development and production of military equipment which needs far more expensive materials to build.
2. It won't happen in a day, where the next day we start to feed all the world population. First there should be an agreed 30-40 year plan, where they outline how all the governments will corporate to build all the necessary infrastructures (roads, dwellings, hospitals, factories, education and entertainment complexes and etc.) in a green way. Also during this period, new generations of people will be educated to understand why all these is happening. There should be no over consumption of earths resources like now. We should use as much as we need and at the same time help the planet to recover.
3. In the new susso-economic system we will have no money, because every thing is provided. You can get everything for free. Why would anyone rob if everything is provided? I think even policing the society will reduce to something minimal. If there are no borders, no armies, who will fight? Yes, of course there still will be some arguments between people, not between governments. Because there will be minimal governance by people. When there are self driving cars around, there will also be self producing robot factories which can itself plan and harvest whatever needed. Or we might even have molecular assemblers which can create anything we want: be it banana or a car.
4. When there are no armies, all those people car relax or pursue his/her interests.
I completely believe that such a society is possible where every person needs a provided, and all he or she needs to do is to relax and pursue interests. Today is the day when we start this process, so at least our grand children can live in such a society. Or with the help of new medicine and science even our generation can live many more years than average people.
1 and 2. Pro says we have enough food to feed the entire world. He has not explained how uniting the world into a single world government would alleviate hunger. Even the richest countries in the world still have starving and homeless populations.
3. Pro says a united world government would not have currency (or presumably fiat). So now Pro is not only arguing for a single world state, but significantly inhibited trade. Pro wants to go back to the barter system which would not make it any easier to eliminate poverty and hunger.
4. Pro says no government = no armies. He fails to explain how law enforcement works in this society. Pro says he "believes that such a society is possible where every person needs a provided, and all he or she needs to do is to relax and pursue interests." Again Pro has not explained how this society can come to fruition. On the other hand, I've outlined very specific reasons why a single world government is not necessarily moral even if it were possible... but it's probably not possible.
I will repeat them for clarity.
If the purpose of government is to establish laws that protect important social values, how can we expect so many people to agree about what rules we should use to govern the entire planet? With a multitude of groups from various cultures, you ultimately have the formation and creation of numerous law enfrocement groups (armies) and thus governments.
It's immoral to expect one standard to govern such a large and diverse group. Backlash against this kind of tyranny means productivity will be stifled, and people would lose their lives fighting for freedom (war) from this oppressive standard.
In addition, this would lead to a loss of cultural identity and thus diversity. That means the degradation of unique languages; imposing homogenous standards of freedoms, intellect and the arts; a decrease in perceived autonomy; and domination of smaller groups by larger ones into forced assimilation.
So far Pro has failed to not only prove a single world government is possible, but why it would be a good thing. He suggests it would eliminate world hunger and allow for "total relaxation," but fails to explain how/why this would be the case. On the other hand, I've explained why a single world government is not only unlikely to the point of impossibility, but problematic and arguably immoral.

We had so much fun last night during family night. Thanks to Shawn and Amanda for joining us in Halloween Shopping! The Rangers kept us on pins and needles too, and all I have to say about that is, like Aggies, Rangers never lose although they may run out of time.
Have you been to a Halloween store lately? Darling Daughter and I both would like to know why Halloween is turning into "sexy ____" dress up day. I don't even think it's so much sexy as trashy. IN THE TEEN SECTION no less there were sexy fairies and sexy lady bugs and on and on.
I love that Darby takes after her daddy and, the scarier her costume is, the better. We still laugh about her going to a party a couple of years ago where the teens were going to go trick-or-treating. When I dropped the Darbster off in her half lizard, half monster costume, she was surrounded by boys and girls in similar costumes save one or two wearing high heals and such. Darby was ticked that they only got to go to two or three houses before those not wearing sensable shoes were too tired to continue. I think that sealed the deal for her...no sexy lizard monster for her!
Another thing we noticed this year is that the pickings are pretty slim at the Spirit store. They seemed to have spent too much on the crazy merry-go-round with possessed babies to have purchased enough stock to be interesting. They had some pretty scary stuff though...it just cost too much! I am off in search of a yellow hoodie sweatshirt, some yellow face paint and a pair of denim overalls...I want to be a Minion and carry Dave around with me! Wish me luck!

Town & Country set the standard for premium travel, and this year, it adds to the experience with a few new features
New for 2012
- Super Console is now standard on Limited
- Wood & leather-wrapped steering wheel is now standard on Limited
- 17-inch wheels is now standard on Limited
Elegant and sophisticated details are beautifully evident throughout the exterior, beginning with the chrome grille featuring the Chrysler winged badge. Along the profile, bright chrome bodyside and belt line moulding accent the expressive contours. At the rear, the refinement is continued with LED taillamps a body coloured, rear spoiler and chrome accents on the liftgate and step pad.
Standard on Town & Country, this system lets you stow the crossbars in the side rails and snap them easily into place whenever needed. It reduces aerodynamic drag and wind buffeting, resulting in better overall fuel efficiency and a quieter cabin.
Standard on all Town & Country models, the mirrors fold toward the bodyside providing clearance in tight situations, and conveniently help melt ice and snow. They're body coloured on Touring and Touring-L models, and chrome with supplemental turn signals on Limited.
17-inch tech silver aluminum wheels are standard on Limited, and on Touring-L; while base Touring models ride on 16-inch aluminum wheels.
Town & Country combines exceptional visibility and expressive style with projector style fog lamps, taillamps with LED lighting and an LED rear light bar.
Soft premium materials grace every touch point of Town & Country's impeccably appointed cabin. The super soft armrests with flawless accent stitching, leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob display a clear commitment to craftsmanship. You'll have a clear and brilliant view with the new one-piece premium instrument panel, with gauges as beautiful as they are functional. Every detail, right down to the classic signature Chrysler analogue clock at the centre of the dash, fuses together to create an atmosphere of style, sophistication and sensibility.
Be in command like never before with Town & Country's new wood and leather-wrapped steering wheel, which comes standard on Limited. The classic design – elegantly highlighted by the new Chrysler winged badge – features standard audio and cruise controls, putting important functions conveniently at your fingertips. For added convenience, the steering wheel is easily adjustable thanks to the new tilt and telescoping steering column. A minivan-first and class-exclusive heated steering wheel is standard on Limited, and optional on Touring and Touring-L.
Industry-Exclusive Second-Row Super stow 'N Go
With the simple pull of a handle, the headrest folds flat, the backrest flips forward and the rear seat anchor unhinges, providing easier access to the third row seating. And it takes mere seconds to completely stow the seats in the in-floor storage compartment.
Third Row Stow 'N Go
The class-exclusive one-touch power folding third row seats fold and stow in below-the-floor storage bins, significantly increasing cargo-carrying flexibility. So there's no need to ever remove a seat. And thanks to second row Super Stow 'n Go® seats, you can enjoy 4-inches (101 mm) of fore/aft movement, making access to the third row even easier. There's also class-exclusive tailgate seating for hanging out in parking lots, parks and anywhere else.
Heated Leather-Faced Seats
Leather-faced seating and heated driver and front passenger seats are standard on Touring L and Limited models. Limited models feature luxury Nappa leather-faced seating as well as heated second row seats. With accommodations like this, your passengers may never want to leave.

Segment-exclusive Super Console
This fully integrated premium centre console has a place for everything and the means to keep it all in place. There's a storage compartment with two power outlets, covered secured storage drawers with stylish tambour doors, a large storage drawer that can be accessed from front and second rows, two front and two rear passenger cupholders. And it's all designed with an upscale refined appearance.

engines & transmissions
3.6L Pentastar VVT V6 Engine
This Detroit original gives you more power to help you get by traffic, and greater efficiency to pass by gas stations. It delivers best-in-class power with 283 horsepower while also delivering fuel-economy up to 7.9 L / 100 km (36 MPG) on the highway.
Six-Speed Automatic Transmission
It's mated to the Pentastar and features a Serpentine gated gear shifter on the dash to make changing gears more ergonomically convenient.
Class-Exclusive Fuel Economizer
No other minivan has anything like it. A simple push of a button seamlessly changes the transmission shift schedule and delivers a real world improvement in fuel economy.
Recently tuned with front and rear springs and shocks, larger diameter rear shocks, and smart damping control, the Town & Country suspension features a high-rate rear torsion beam axle and track bar bushings to help improve body control and make for a more solid and confident feel.
Town & Country has a quicker-ratio steering system which, along with its torsional stiffness in the steering column, provides a more precise steering feel. Likewise, the chassis architecture delivers precision steering with maximum grip and control.
Standard on Limited and optional on Touring and Touring-L, it combines seven advanced safety technology features to alert, react and protect you and your passengers. This includes:
1. Segment-exclusive Blind-Spot Monitoring and Rear Cross Path Detection
2. Park-Sense® Rear Park Assist System
3. SmartBeam™ headlights
4. A Tire Pressure Monitoring Display
5. Rain sensitive wipers
6. Auto-dimming rearview mirror
7. Power multi-function fold-away mirror
Standard on Town & Country, driver and front passenger advanced multi-stage air bags deploy according to the severity of impact, providing the appropriate level of protection.
New for 2012, Town & Country is equipped with supplementary front-seat side air bags, providing additional protection to the driver and front passenger.
Side curtain air bags offer side-impact protection to all rows of outboard seat occupants
Located in the lower instrument panel, this air bag is designed to help position the driver properly for the front air bag and offer additional lower leg protection
In the event of a rear-end collision, they move forward and upward, decreasing the space between the head restraint and occupant's head and reducing the risk of neck and head injury.
Town & Country is a strong, lightweight single structure with a stiff body and torsional rigidity. This means better impact protection, a smoother ride, better handling characteristics and less interior noise.
The standard ParkView® rear backup camera positioned in the tailgate activates automatically when the vehicle is shifted into reverse. The camera image is displayed on the touch screen, giving you a clear rear view
As all Town & Country models are equipped with power sliding door and power liftgate, the Obstacle Detection System works in either direction to help prevent damage to cargo items.
The four-wheel disc brakes with ABS monitor wheel speed and automatically modulate brake pressure during hard braking, preventing wheel lockup and improving steering control under extreme braking and/or slippery conditions.

Well, I can't believe it is already the middle of September! Where did the month of August go? We are entering our 5th week of school and are finally settling into our daily routine. I have the sweetest class this year! I am SO excited to post about our journey together!
I have moved grade levels!
I taught 2nd grade at my school last year and my wonderful principal allowed me to move back to First Grade! First Grade is where I began my teaching career seven years ago (I can't believe those kids are 7th graders!) and it is my absolute favorite grade to teach! I moved classrooms and spent the end of July and beginning of August painting and setting up the classroom. This is the last year that we will be in our sweet, little school so I painted my classroom green and I LOVE how it turned out. We are getting excited about moving into our brand new building next Fall. The builders are working away behind our school every day!
Here is a little tour… These pictures were taken before the first day of school so the walls are a little bare!
Our entryway and part of our reading center.
Our whole group meeting area and Calendar board.
Our reading center… Books are organized by theme, but I plan to re-organize them this year by levels A-Z.
Our small group area and my desk (sorry for the mess!). I found the stools at Target before my first year of teaching. They have really held up well over the years. The kids love the hula skirts on the stools!
View from the back of our classroom. The palm tree is our DRA Data Board. The students get to watch their monkey climb the tree all year as they progress in their reading level. The coconuts are labeled A-J.
My paraprofessional's desk area and Math materials.
I purchased these chair pockets from Happi Nappi. I have been VERY happy with them so far. They are very durable and have a deep pocket so items do not fall out. These are by far, the best that I have ever used!
You are O-Fish-Ally a 1st Grader! During Sneak-a-Peek, I had each child a goodie bag of Swedish Fish waiting for them at their desk.
Student-Parent Handbook and goodie bag. Teachers, see below to download for next year… I used a circle punch to cut them out and then pasted them onto a 4-inch scalloped circle.

Title of Bulletin Board: Twice a Day Keeps the Dentis Away
Category: Dental Care
Suggested Grade Level: K-2
Materials: 6'X4' rolled paper, border, punch out letters, pictures, behavior chart, labeled envelopes, sticky pads
Since I'm an elementary Physical Education teacher, I try to integrate health into some of my lessons. This is a bulletin board I created for the younger years (kindergarten - 2nd grade) to help teach them about good dental care.
The title of my bulletin board (depicted in the middle in large blue letters) is "Twice a Day Keeps the Dentist Away" and it addresses correct teeth brushing technique as well as the benefits of good dental health. I placed miniature tooth brushes in a circle with arrows and instructions telling students they should brush their teeth in circular motions. I also placed an egg timer on the board so that students can turn it and get an idea of how long they should be brushing their teeth (approx 2 minutes). I also included poster board material that encourages children to floss regularly as this is an important part of tooth brushing.
I also placed a diagram on the board so that students can start becoming familiar with parts of their teeth and how they are made up.
To make the board more personal, I included a "Who lost a tooth chart?" so students can write their names in any month where they loose a tooth (or teeth).
My board contains a nice red, white and blue color scheme which is aesthetically pleasing and contains age-appropriate information supporting the NCSCOS.

4 ways to grow your business' website
In the digital age, it is important that businesses understand how to operate on a digital platform. Potential clients will likely be put off by a failure to engage with them online. The majority of successful businesses will manage a variety of social media platforms including Facebook, Twitter, and even Instagram. They will also be sure to run a successful website.
If you are hoping to grow your business, you will need to make sure that your website helps you with your ambitions. It is vital that your website is professional, unique, and easy to use. Digital customers will soon tire of a site that is difficult to navigate and will likely look elsewhere for better service. Instead of running the risk that your website is working against you, make sure that it is doing everything possible to promote your brand. Below are four ways for you to improve your business' website.
Feature your website details on all of your other resources
It is important that your clients know exactly where to find your website. Make sure that the address is featured clearly on all of your other resources. Nowadays everything is online. Therefore, your potential clients will be much more likely to engage with digital content. Not only this but once they have found your website, they have the option to add your page to their favorites. Unlike a business card or a brochure, your presence on their favorite list cannot be lost or thrown away. Instead, your clients will have access to all of your details at the click of a button.
Make sure that all of your marketing resources don't just contain all of the same material. Use the physical resources as an opportunity to outline the key elements of your business. Then, use the website as the host for all the information your clients could ever need. While a brochure filled with text can be overwhelming, a well-formatted website can store a huge amount of information effectively. You should also ensure that your website has more than one page so that your clients don't struggle to find what they're looking for. Visit the websites of successful businesses for inspiration. Compare their websites to your own. Is there something they're doing that you're not? Whatever you do, it is vital that you invest your time and money into your website!
Increase traffic
At the end of the day, it doesn't matter how good your website looks if nobody visits it! A truly successful website will draw in a lot of online traffic. The more popular a website becomes, the better. Buying traffic is perfect for a new website. It can help to boost the number of visits to your website in the time it takes for you to get organic hits. The more visits a website receives, the higher it will be positioned in the search engine results. Therefore, buying traffic will increase the likelihood of potential clients clicking on your page, allowing you a better chance to build your traffic organically. For instance, let's say you were an interior design business. If a potential customer typed interior design into a search engine, they would be unlikely to find your website if it was positioned several pages into the search. Instead, they would probably end up visiting one of your competitors. However, if your purchased website traffic has moved your website closer to the top of their results, they will be more likely to end up on your website.
You can also show off your website traffic to potential clients. Many online resources have the option to display how many views something receives. It can be damaging to your brand if you only get a few hits. However, if the number of views is much higher, your business will appear to be booming. This will be very enticing to potential customers, as they will consider your business to be popular and therefore more desirable.
Use white space
When designing your website, it is important to consider all of the aesthetic details with great care. Although you will want to stand out from the crowd, make sure that your website isn't too overwhelming. Bright colors, bold text, and countless photos will make it difficult for your clients to concentrate on one thing at a time. They may even be so overwhelmed by a hectic design scheme that they decide to close your page. Therefore, it is important that your website possesses an element of simplicity. Often brands insist on removing as much blank space as possible. However, many lead website designers praise the power of white space. They claim that including white space in a design can actually help you to draw attention to key pieces of information. When used correctly, white space can make a website appear stylish and sophisticated. Remember to consider the saying: less is more. Don't overcrowd your website. Instead, make it somewhere that your clients will enjoy visiting.
Use video
Video marketing has seen a huge rise in popularity and is set to become even more popular, amongst advertisers, in the coming years. It is a fantastic way to grab someone's attention and to convey important information to them before they get bored and look away. Including a video on your website could also be a great way of adding a personal touch and standing out from the crowd. Why not greet the visitors to your website with a friendly message from your team. Be as creative as possible and think outside of the box. One of the downsides of the internet is that it can often feel cold and impersonal. If you manage to create a website that marries warmth with practicality, you'll be onto a winner! If you don't think a heartfelt greeting would fit with your brand, why not try a stylish video that shows off your products or services. Moving images will be sure to capture the attention of your website's visitors. Not only this but as video marketing is a relatively new trend, using it will suggest that your business is more than capable of keeping up in a digital world.

A migraine is a painful and intense headache accompanied by nausea, light sensitivity and sound sensitivity. Frequent migraines may create difficulty working or going about activities normally. As such, doctors may prescribe medications like Topamax for adults and adolescents 12 years or older who suffer from frequent migraine headaches. Topamax aims to prevent migraines, rather than treat existing migraines.
In addition to preventing migraines, Topamax is also a seizure medication for adults and children over the age of two. However, Topamax is can be a dangerous drug for some patients and may cause harm. In such cases, patients may have grounds to file a lawsuit against the manufacturer. Cordisco & Saile LLC can help – call 215-642-2335.
How Topamax Works and Possible Topamax Side Effects
The active ingredient in Topamax is topiramate. Topiramate is thought to prevent migraines and help those with seizure disorders by "calming" the flow of charged particles to and from nerve cells. Essentially, it is thought to help the brain "relax," thereby preventing the number of migraine headaches the patient suffers.
But it is not without potentially severe side effects of which patients should be aware. A Medication Guide published by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration reveals the following information about the drug.
"Topamax may cause eye problems. Taking Topamax may result in a sudden decrease in vision, permanent loss of vision and secondary angle closure glaucoma.
Topamax may increase body temperature and blood acidity (metabolic acidosis). Both conditions may require hospitalization. The latter condition can lead to kidney stones, osteoporosis and can harm the growth of a developing fetus when taken by a pregnant woman, leading to birth defects. Types of birth defects reported in babies of women taking Topamax include cleft lip and cleft palate.
Finally, taking Topamax may increase the risk of suicidal thoughts or actions in one of 500 patients taking the drug. There are many other possible side effects of the drug, which patients should thoroughly review and watch for when taking Topamax."
Legal Options for Those Harmed by Topamax
If you suffered harm by taking Topamax, meet with an attorney to discuss your legal options. If you can prove Topamax harmed you and the drug manufacturer is liable, you may recover damages for your injuries.
Those who may be liable for a Topamax lawsuit include Topamax's manufacturer, Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc., your healthcare provider or the pharmacist who filled your prescription. Much depends on the circumstances.
If you successfully prove liability for your damages, then you can recover compensation for pain and suffering, lost wages, medical expenses, and any other damages related to the drug. If you lost a loved one due to Topamax, you could file a wrongful death suit for damages. In Pennsylvania, you have two years after suffering harm to file a lawsuit for damages, so act immediately.
The Defective Drug Attorneys at Cordisco & Saile LLC are Ready to Help You
If you took Topamax and suffered harm or if you lost a loved one due to Topamax, consult the attorneys at Cordisco & Saile LLC about your case. Our attorneys will help you file your claim for damages and will make sure you get the compensation you deserve. What's more, we'll provide you with a free case consultation where we can learn more about your case and you can ask us any legal questions you have.
If you're ready to begin, don't wait any longer to take action. You can reach our offices now at 215-642-2335 or by filling out our online contact form.

String Theory
How a Broken-Shoelace Incident Led to a Search for Efficient Tying
Somewhere in childhood, tying shoes goes from seemingly impossible to mindlessly mechanical. Ian Fieggen spends a lot of time thinking about those mechanics.
"I'm not a knot expert," the 43-year-old programmer and graphic designer explained in a telephone interview from his home in Melbourne, Australia. "I'm just someone who likes efficiency."

Fletcher trying to build a young team as his team fly into rapid visit to South Africa
India cricket coach Duncan Fletcher
Theres been 'no middle road' with India's performances since winning the World Cup, coach Duncan Fletcher said on Wednesday as his Twenty20 squad flew in for a rapid visit to South Africa.
Giving youngsters experience away from home was now one of the keys to finding consistency, he said, in the hope that trips away will "pay dividends in the future.' India play the Proteas in a one-off T20 on Friday and despite the game falling just days before the start of the Indian Premier League, Fletcher said it would help.
'We're trying to develop a young one-day squad and Twenty20 squad,' he said. 'These blokes have played well on the sub-continent and any game they play out of it must be good from an experience point of view.
'(We want to) expose them to different pressures and different conditions. From my point of view there is a lot of talent around, we just need to make sure we give them that experience they require.'
India have been notoriously up and down since lifting the World Cup a year ago, falling to heavy Test series defeats in England and Australia but also whitewashing the English in an ODI contest at home.
India cricket captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni arrives at OR Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg, South Africa
It's a regular problem for the Indians, who have often dominated at home and struggled on tour, and was highlighted again after Fletcher took over from World Cup-winning coach Gary Kirsten - who is now in charge of South Africa.
'Well, so far there's been no middle road,' Fletcher said at Johannesburg's OR Tambo Airport. 'We've played some very good cricket ... then we went to England and had a few problems and didn't play as well as we could.'
The inconvenient timing of Friday's game at the Wanderers also hasn't worried Fletcher or captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni. It was organised by Cricket South Africa as a tribute for allrounder Jacques Kallis, but has required the busy Indian players to fly nine hours overnight from Mumbai for a two-hour game before returning for the IPL, which starts next Wednesday.
'I don't think fatigue will be a real factor,' Dhoni said. 'We all enjoy playing IPL. That's one format where you're not representing the country and the span of the tournament is slightly longer, you play quite a few games.
India cricket player Virat Kohli arrives at OR Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg, South Africa
'I won't say you have the liberty but even if you lose a few games it doesn't really matter by the end of the league stage if you have qualified for the last four." Dhoni also identified T20 cricket as the 'ideal platform' to develop a new breed of young Mahendra Singh Dhoni (right) and Virat Kohli arrive at the OR Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg on Wednesday AGENCIES players and the IPL as useful preparation for India's campaign at the World Twenty20 in Sri Lanka in September and October.
Virat Kohli, who has been one of India's outstanding batsmen in all formats recently, has also excelled in the IPL.
The 23-year-old Kohli made 116 in his last Test and three centuries and a half-century in his last four ODIs.
'As of now, yes, you can say he's one of the best-performing youngsters that we've got,' Dhoni said of Kohli, who is vicecaptain in South Africa. 'He's doing it quite consistently which is very good for the side, irrespective of the format. Test matches, ODIs, 20 overs. He is someone who loves to go on the field and express himself.'
Squad: India: Mahendra Singh Dhoni (captain), Virat Kohli, Robin Uthappa, Gautam Gambhir, Rohit Sharma, Suresh Raina, Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Praveen Kumar, Vinay Kumar, Rahul Sharma, Yusuf Pathan, Manoj Tiwary, Irfan Pathan, Ashok Dinda.

So we set out to leverage the best practices from our backgrounds to build recruiting solutions that, at their core, help increase the efficiency, predictability, and speed of the recruiting process.

There have been 10 flu-related deaths in Idaho so far this season, all people over 50, according to Idaho Department of Health & Welfare.
The Centers for Disease Control, which monitors flu across the country, says the flu is widespread in Idaho. That means outbreaks or increases in flu-like illnesses, along with lab-confirmed influenza, has been found in at least half of the regions of the state, according to a weekly report on the flu distributed by the CDC.
There have been multiple influenza outbreaks in residential settings that include nursing homes and long-term care facilities, the report shows.
A spokesman for Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center in Boise said there's been a marked increase in flu cases this January, when compared to last year.
"We saw more than a 300% increase in the number of flu cases, compared to the first half of January 2016 in our clinics," Josh Schlaich said.
Schlaich said it's not too late to get vaccinated, if you didn't do that. Other ways to prevent getting the flu include: good hand hygiene and disinfecting surfaces that may be contaminated with germs.
Other nearby states are worse off. The flu hit "epidemic" levels in Washington state in early January, according to the Tacoma News-Tribune. Washington has had 76 flu deaths so far this season, with all but four of the deaths occurring in people over 50, according to the Associated Press. One flu victim was a child under 10.
The reports of influenza-like illnesses in Idaho this season are slightly above last year at this time — and way below the two years prior. In 2013-14 and 2014-15, flu in Idaho peaked in late December and early January, whereas last year it peaked later in the winter.
"So far, it seems like a pretty typical year for flu," said Niki Forbing-Orr, a spokeswoman for Idaho Department of Health & Welfare.
There are several flu viruses circulating. The most common influenza virus by far found in Idaho residents this season is A(H3), according to laboratory results.
The first flu death in Idaho this season was in late December. Last year, 26 people died from influenza.
The CDC has a detailed "frequently asked questions" section about this year's flu season on its Web site. Read that here.
